Patent EP-0382194-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BECKS MARTINUS
IPC: C25D13/02
Filed: 1990-02-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the electrophoretic deposition of a superconducting ceramic coating consisting of finely ground material, in particular a YBa2Cu3O7-x layer, on an electrically conducting, preferably metallic, surface, the layer subsequently being sintered in an oxidising atmosphere and cooled and the material being deposited on the surface under the influence of an external magnetic field. The deposition in a magnetic field produces a preferred orientation of the crystal axes of the particles deposited; in particular, the c-axes of the particles are aligned parallel to the magnetic field. The preferred orientation of the ceramic layer due to the alignment of the crystal axes makes it possible to improve the electrical conductivity and the behaviour in a magnetic field compared with layers without preferred orientation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved method for the continuous fabrication of metal-hydride, electrochemical, hydrogen storage alloy, negative electrodes for use in rechargeable nickel metal hydride cells. The improved method comprises the steps of reducing [250] the size of a high hardness, metal hydride, hydrogen storage alloy by shattering it along natural fracture line thereof. The process next includes providing measured amounts of powdered metal hydride electrochemical hydrogen storage alloy material and disposing said material upon a continuous wire mesh screen substrate [340]. Thereafter, the powdered metal hydride electrochemical hydrogen storage alloy and wire mesh screen are subjected to a compaction process [350,360] wherein they are rolled and pressed so as to form a single integral electrode web which is subsequently exposed to a high temperature sintering process [390,392,394,396] in a chemically inert environment. The sintering process is designed to drive off excess moisture in the material while discouraging oxidation of the electrode web and set the electrode web state of charge.

Abstract: The proposed process for the electrofusion of cells entails the cells being brought into contact with one another by dielectrophoresis in a conventional manner and then the cell membranes of adjacent cells being perforated by at least one DC voltage pulse for the purpose of cell fusion. Essential to the process is that the alternating field applied for the dielectrophoresis initially has relatively high field strength, this field strength is then reduced stepwise to a lower field strength and finally the lower field strength is maintained for the required contact time of the cell membranes, and the at least one DC voltage pulse is applied only after the lower field strength has been reached.

Abstract: The known NOx-reducing measures (OFA, IFNR) are limited to ensure ignition stability and basic stability of the flame and complete burn-out, particularly in the case of fuels which are difficult to ignite and burn. The formation of NOx in the firing chamber is to be reduced further by the installation of heating surfaces. The further NOx reduction is accomplished by a welded tube belt (16) arranged in the centre of the firing chamber. An additional measure is to enlarge the quantity of recycled flue gas, for example through a second flue gas line (29), whereby the heat balance of the boiler is also regulated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to secure small and medium-size containers having a width of e.g. 2200 mm to locking members as provided at a standard lateral spacing of 2259 mm on vehicle platforms designed for transporting ISO containers, such small or medium containers are equipped with double-fittings (12) each com­prising two openings (13) and projecting beyond the width dimension of the container. The center-to-center spacing of the two openings (13) is 280 mm and thus corresponds to the distance of pairs of locking members which are provided on such platforms for engaging adjacent corner fittings of two ISO containers placed behind each other. By the simultaneous coupling to such pairs of locking members, safe securing with better distribution of forces is achieved also for containers that are shorter than the shortest ISO container.

Abstract: Ce mélangeur hyperfréquence équilibré est élaboré autour d'un circuit du type "balun". Bien que réalisé pour fonctionner dans une gamme de fréquence d'environ 1 GHz à 10 GHz, le substrat diélectrique SUB utilisé est choisi parmi les matériaux diélectriques à fortes pertes tels que le verre-époxy permettant ainsi de minorer très sensiblement son prix de revient. Sur ledit substrat est imprimé un circuit d'adaptation par lignes microstrip L1, L2 partiellement recouvertes, L1 par un tronçon de câble coaxial CC semi-rigide, L2 par un tronçon de fil conducteur CA de même diamètre et de même longueur que le câble coaxial. Les performances d'un tel mélangeur sont comparables à celles d'un mélangeur 6λ/4 avec un encombrement nettement plus faible, de l'ordre de celui d'un coupleur de Lange.

Filed: 1990-10-10
Abstract: An apparatus capable of sensing the presence of objects in its environment, categorizing these objects without a prior description of the categories to be expected, and controlling robotic effector mechanisms to respond differentially to such objects according to their categories. Such responses include sorting objects, rejecting objects of certain types, and detecting novel or deviant objects. The invention includes a device called a "classification n-tuple" (of which a "classification couple" is a special case) capable of combining signals from two or more sensory modalities to arrive at the classification of the object. The invention operates by simulating certain features of animal nervous system, including neurons with responses determined at each moment of time by inputs received along synaptic connections from sensory means or form other neurons. In this invention, neurons are arranged in "groups", which permits them to act cooperatively while still retaining characteristic individual responses. Groups in turn are arranged in "repertoires", which provide a totality of response specificities sufficient to respond to any of a range of possible input objects. Some of these repertoires are organized as "maps", such that groups responding to inputs that are similar along some dimensional (spatial or abstract) are close together in the repertoire, enabling the repertoire to respond correctly to novel objects that are similar to objects it has encountered previously. Maps in this invention are linked by connections, called "reentrant" connections, that enable the responses of one map to be reentered into the system as inputs to another map. Reentrant connections permit signals from different sensory modalities to be correlated in an ongoing fashion, and they are the basis for the operation of classification n-tuples. The responses of the apparatus of this invention may be improved and optimized for a particular task through the operation of "neuronal group selection", a process which enhances the responses of those neuronal groups in the apparatus which were active in some time interval preceding the production of a useful output action. This process operates by modifying the strength of selected synaptic connections. The value of various output actions is determined, for the purpose of regulating selection, by means which are internal to the apparatus of this invention. Accordingly, the invention is capable of self-organization and learning, and does not require a predetermined specification of correct responses for all possible inputs.
